I am speaking from an extremist religious background. Most western religions' faith is based on fear and violence. I have had a non religious faith most of my rational life that I don't have to be a statistic. That I do not have to continue in the vein I have been raised or in the ways I have been treated. I believe and will not let go of the faith that I can somehow make a better life for my children. I am not a bi-zillionaire. But if I keep pushing , gently with amazing strength in a direction I know is good, they will succeed. I will not give up on them or myself.
I guess I don't have anything wrapped up at all.
